LGBTQ Issues (Part 3)

[92tide]

The hypocrisy from many on the left regarding gay and women’s rights in certain Muslim countries is both despicable and inexcusable. They should be just as quick to condemn those policies and individuals as they are to denounce right-wing Christians and other intolerant bigots.

They can condemn it as loudly as they did for apartheid in South Africa and as they do for the Israeli government’s actions.

there were a whole lot of people raising hell about all of those lame ass comedians/ens who recently did that show in riyadh

I never understood the concept of government-approved marriage. The only legitimate interest I can see is not letting children marry. But, between consenting adults, who cares?

Me neither, but there is a very vocal and powerful group in our body politic that seeks to keep government's thumb on things like marriage(and who can marry), reproductive health/freedom, what books we can read, etc.

Does this mean the penis-humans will have to compete with penis-humans, and the vagina-humans will have to compete with vagina-humans. That's a weird and new concept, eh?

Maybe the manginas can compete against one another. But what do I know?

I'm not sure why there can't be a trans category for individual sporting events as needed. Sports like swimming and track and field should be able to accommodate this without too much trouble, I would think. Give the trans athletes the opportunity to participate in athletics without infringing on women's spaces. More people benefit; no one loses out.

There you go again making sense. Don't you know that's not allowed? The issue really is in how sports are viewed by different segments of society and it's why there will never likely be consensus. You have the liberals who look at sports as simply an activity we can all do together and the concept of being able to play/compete with whomever you want is what is the most important. An all aspects of their life they want to be women (I am only taking about male to female) and they feel it is their right to be able to compete against other women. Everything else is secondary, even any concept of fairness is trumped by their desire to be a woman in all aspects of their life. Then you have the athletes view of sports. Yes, they want to compete against their own sex but fairness is the most important aspect of sports to them. What's the point of competing if there is a segment of society that can deny the biological advantages of being born a male and then transition into something else merely by fiat.

I am a purist when it comes to sports. Yes, sports are good for your health and mental well-being but the competitions have to be fair to reap the full benefits. Men competing against women is just not fair, from a competitive viewpoint. There is no denying it and the scientific evidence is overwhelming. So, the question you have to ask yourself what is more important, sports being pure competition where the best rise to the top or is competing against whoever you wish, competitiveness be damned, the right answer?
